Boston is the most "ethnicist" (which includes "racist") place I have
ever been, even compared to here in the deep South. Even the black
Haitian neighbors in Dawchesta (that would Dorchester to you
uninitiated) disliked the longer-term AAs up the street (and referred
to them by the nword, which had me at a bit of a loss). The Irish and
Italians hated each other, they all hated the incoming Asians... The
hard-working Cape Verdean next door disliked the welfare thieves up the
street. The Puerto Ricans a coupla doors down disliked the idiot Irish
kids across the street. It was a real diversity celebration in my
neighborhood, until my wife was surprised by a coupla enterprising YBGs
who were stealing our TV and stereo (which she made one put down). The
Hispanics seemed to like them all as they fenced their stolen goods
(including my stolen TV). The Haitian cop who responded said it was
better if I just dealt with them if I caught them, because if he
arrested them they would be right out again the next day. Yep, better
you just deal with them he says, nobody would care.
The idiot Irish kids were all gung-ho to go find the guys and "deal with
them" by taking them fishing in the hahbah, so I guess they did have
some redeeming qualities.

One of the nice things about the Northeast, referred to earlier as
"diversity" is that there are ethnic neighborhoods. Some date back to the
early 20th century, where Italians, Germans, or Polish residents first
settled. Some more suburban communities that were once mixed are now
mostly populated by new immigrants, such as Indians or Koreans. Generally
long time residents express some negativity when referring to these new
ethnic communities beacuse they remember the way it was before the
newcomers came.
